Acute effects of isometric conditioning activity on the viscoelastic properties of muscles and sprint and jumping performance in handball players. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2022-The effects of conditioning activity (CA) on muscle stiffness are currently unknown, suggesting that maximum CA effort can increase or decrease the stiffness of involved muscle groups. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of maximal isometric half-squats on the viscoelastic properties of muscles and postactivation performance enhancement (PAPE) in sprints and jumps...
